Today was a great day! We started by visiting the largest flower auction in the world. This place was amazing! The racks of flowers go on for miles and miles. There are auction rooms with people constantly bidding on these flowers that arrived in the warehouse this morning and are shipped out this same day to be sold all around the world in shops that same night. It was a site for sore eyes and sore noses, at least for those with allergies. :)
As far as you can see are these connected train of flowers that are moved through the auction hall to be bought by the bidders for markets all around the world.
This is a closer look at the racks of flowers! They were so beautiful!
As for the Hockey game. We checked into our hotel at 4pm. As we were walking in there was a projector in the main room showing the pregame of the USA vs. Denmark game. I expressed my interest in the sport and the manager informed me that the games are going on only 6 min away at the local arena. What?!! The World Championship happening right now. I knew I would never get to see this kind of event again so I grabbed some people and ran to the stadium to enjoy an amazing game of hockey. I have been on a high ever since the game. We met some awesome friends there from Finland that helped keep us entertained. This was phenomenal! David and Deano would be jealous! It was so much fun. Definately a highlight of this trip! What are the odds that while stopping in Koln, Germany that there would be such and event going on.
My new friend Yan. He and his friends were awesome and super fun/crazy. ;)
The few of us that I could convince to join me for the game.
It really was way to much fun!
You are so cool, Gordy
